Tara tried to hide her anxiety from others, but it was starting to take a toll on her life. She was having trouble sleeping, concentrating, and enjoying herself. She was also starting to avoid social situations that made her anxious.

Finally, Tara decided that she needed to get help. She went to see a therapist, who diagnosed her with generalized anxiety disorder. Tara started therapy and began to learn new ways to manage her anxiety.

She learned relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and yoga, which helped her to calm down when she was feeling anxious.
